MCC plays host to apprenticeship workshop Nov. 4

Macomb Community College will play host to a workshop Nov. 4 designed to highlight apprenticeship programs and encourage the manufacturing industry to participate.

“Hiring and Developing Employees through Apprenticeships” will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. at the John Lewis Community Center (K Building) on MCC’s South Campus in Warren.

The meeting will focus on apprenticeships and other workforce development programs. MCC officials also will announce details of the Michigan Apprenticeship Program Plus.

MCC was awarded a $3.9 million federal grant to fund the program. The grant will help Macomb, in partnership with Grand Rapids Community College, expand apprenticeship opportunities in manufacturing and information technology.
